If you've found Montessori to be helpful to bring more connection, peace and joy with your children, just imagine what we could achieve if we expand Montessori beyond childhood. Let's make it happen together!
So many of us missed out on Montessori as children. But it's never too late to become a Montessori adult.
Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like if you'd been raised in a Montessori way?
If you could foster Montessori relationships at work and in our daily lives?
Not only with our children but with our partners, neighbours, bosses, employees, family, friends?
Could we understand ourselves deeper and expand ourselves?
It's time for us to expand Montessori. To see how we can bring a deeper understanding and peace inside ourselves. To bring Montessori into all our relationships. And with our relationship to Earth.
Our hope is that every adult be transformed by Montessori
Simone and Amukta have a combined experience in Montessori of over 70 years.
After all this time working in Montessori, they don't just bring this to the children and families they work with. They apply the principles every day. In their own development, with those in their lives, and with everyone they meet.
No matter how you were raised, we believe that everyone can learn to apply these principles.
To bring you more joy, connection, peace, and to make a difference in the world.
We will be your guides to help you to become a Montessori adult too.
Expanding as adults with Montessori
This course is for those that want to try out Montessori principles in a safe learning community of like-minded people.
Each week we will explore a new theme together.
You will receive:
- 12 weeks = 12 themes
- 12 x 1-hour live calls, one a week to connect with each other
- interviews with expert guests, and
- an optional WhatsApp group for additional sharing
